Best New Place to Live: Award-Winning Goodluck Hope Offers Waterfront Living, New Townhouses and A Connected Location

Freshly crowned ‘Development of the Year’ at the British Home Awards, and with new homes starting from £427,500 and a brand-new collection of colourful Townhouses now on the market from £1,120,000, waterfront neighbourhood Goodluck Hope might be a hidden gem, but it offers London’s buyer something truly unique.

Surrounded by water on three sides, Goodluck Hope is an island neighbourhood that offers the ultimate tranquil waterfront lifestyle, with a variety of apartments, loft penthouses and townhouses benefitting from sweeping views across the river to the O2. Secluded from the rush of the capital, yet moments from the action via nearby Canning Town station (Jubilee Line/DLR), Goodluck Hope is well-placed for those who work in Canary Wharf and the City, or travel via City Airport, but still seek a peaceful haven to call home. All Goodluck Hope residents also enjoy access to world-class amenities as part of the 1595 Club, including an indoor swimming pool, Scandinavian-style steam room, state-of-the-art gym, studio, private cinema, business centre and communal gardens, as well as The Lantern Room, a spectacular 29th floor sky lounge for remote working, socialising and relaxing.

Located on thehistoric Leamouth peninsula, and containing one of only four remaining dry docks in London, Goodluck Hope is an island neighbourhood comprised of an eclectic mix of contemporary buildings that reimagine warehouse typology, all set within the historic Docklands on the site of the former East India Company. The name Goodluck Hope has its origins in the history of this part of London; there are records of ships docking here to unload their goods in 1297, with tea, spices, indigo, silk and Persian carpets stored here in warehouses.

Goodluck Hope is set to welcome a number of exciting commercial businesses over the coming months, including District, the wholesome bakery/coffee shop inspired by Australia’s Gold Coast, Taylors of Maltby St, an ethical, organic grocer; purveyors of the finest seasonal fruit and vegetables, and N25 Caviar, a high-end Caviar concept store/showroom, supplier of luxury restaurants and hotels. Already established is Trinity Art Gallery @GoodluckHope founded by local artist Ian Felton.

Goodluck Hope is also just a short walk from Canning Town Station through London City Island over the iconic red footbridge – a map of some of the commercial businesses and cultural spaces is attached. London City Island is home to English National Ballet as well as artisan coffee shop The Espresso Room and venue The Lockdown Room, neighbourhood cocktail bar Soda & Friends, fashion designer Lulu Liu, children’s play centre Gymboree Play & Music Docklands, and yoga studio HUM Yoga. The Line, London’s public art walk, recently arrived at City Island with the installation of Catching Colourby sculptor Rana Begum in Botanic Square.

Goodluck Hope’s newest homes are thirteen industrial-inspired yet contemporary Townhouses, arranged over four floors and thoughtfully-designed to reflect the liquidity of modern life. Each has three bedrooms, a private terrace, contemporary kitchen, and comfortable, versatile living spaces, and many feature a ground-floor studio space that can be transformed into an office, playroom, business studio or gallery, accommodating the growing trends of flexible working and creative living.

A newly-completed Show House perfectly demonstrates the Townhouses’ refined industrial aesthetic, featuring raw natural materials and touches of signature deep indigo that reflect the maritime heritage of this once-thriving river port. Distinct oak floorboards connect the living spaces, while south-facing crittal windows invite sunlight into every corner and exposed brick and metalwork hints toward the industrial warehouses that were once typical of this part of London’s Docklands – it’s now open for viewings, so you can experience the Townhouses both inside and out!

Jenny Steen, Sales Director at Ballymore, said: “Our vision for Goodluck Hope is to create a close-knit riverside community with architecturally striking buildings and a best-in-class amenity offering. The Townhouses at Goodluck Hope are located at the heart of this vision, with high quality finishes and internal spaces set across four floors designed to evolve with life.”

The waterfront location, luxury amenities and impressive residences combine to make Goodluck Hope a very special place to call home - developer Ballymore even scooped up ‘Housebuilder of the Year’ for the projectat the British Homes Awards too, on top of ‘Best New Place to Live’ at the Building London Planning Awards.  For more information visit www.goodluckhope.com or call 0203 944 1825.
